Have you ever wondered what causes excess sebum and oily skin? Honestly, I have never thought about this question until about two years ago, when my facial condition changed and my used-to-be-flawless skin suddenly decided to leave me for others. Before this sudden change, I was considered to have normal skin, not too dry, not too oily. But in the recent two years, I have come to realise that my face has gotten more oily, especially on the T-zone. And by the end of the day, my make-up would have melted and there was so much oily shine on my face. TOO MUCH SHINE.
So back to my point. What causes excess sebum and oily skin? According to the article that I've read, some of the reasons are:-
- Dehydration
- Over-exfoliating
- Using harsh products
- Skipping the moisturizer
- Hormonal imbalance
- Poor diet
Of the listed few, I think I fall under at least 3 of them. So it's no wonder my skin get so oily now..And somehow, the 3 seemed to be sort of related to each other.
The main reason for oily skin is that the skin does not have enough moisture so it is making it own. Yes you are right, by producing oil. O.O
Totally guilty of drinking inadequate water and not using any moisturizer, my aging skin is now suffering! =(
And now it comes to the next point which I wanted to share.
A product which helps to regulate oil and moisture level with a new technology!
Now let me present to you the Bioessence Aqua Droplet Sleeping Beauty Mask!
Bio Aqua Crystal Technology
Bio-essence Aqua Droplet Sleeping Beauty Mask is made with the unique Bio Aqua Crystal Technology. This technology forms a protective shield over the hydrating ingredients to prevent moisture loss before application. Upon application, this shield breaks away and big aqua droplets are formed. This ensures our skin gets hydrated with the freshest and optimal amount of the hydrating actives. The big aqua droplets are made up superior hydrating ingredients of small molecular size which allows moisture and nutrients to be easily delivered to the deep layers of skin, while the protective emollient film remains on skin to lock in moisture for non-stop hydration.
So cool right! When I first read the directions for use, I was wondering if water droplets will really be formed and what if they didn't? Lol. But these are invalid worries coz that's exactly where the technology comes in! Water droplets will DEFINITELY be formed, and formed so quickly and easily that you'll be surprised!
Tri-Action
The sleeping mask performs 3 ultimate functions for supple and firm skin, which is to Hydrate, Nourish and Protect.

radicals, environmental and UV damage. The product also combats 4 common skin problems:

Directions of Use
Step 1: Massage gently till aqua droplets form.
Step 2: Gently pat till fully absorbed into skin.
Step 3: Apply a thin layer over skin as a daily moisturiser. For more intensive treatment, apply a thicker layer to replenish skin’s moisture throughout the night as a sleeping mask
Personally, I have already been using the sleeping mask for a week, daily as a moisturiser and twice as a sleeping mask. And I'm totally loving it! What's better than having a good product with dual usage right!
As mentioned earlier in the post, I'm one who doesn't like to put on moisturiser because I always thought that moisturisers are all too heavy for the skin. But this product totally changed my thinking and I wished I knew earlier about this product!
See how dewy my face looked after application! =)
The gel-like cream is super light-weight and has a light fragrance which gives a calming effect! Whenever I open the jar, I will ALWAYS take a deep breath to smell it. That's how much I like the smell!
With moisturised skin, my make-up now stays only longer too! So I hardly bring my make-up kit out now, coz I don't really need it! =D
The only downside of the product is that there is no spatula given, so you've gotta find your own when using the sleeping mask. It is best not to use your bare fingers for hygiene purposes ya!
Pssst..Do you want to have a try on the product too? Great news for you if you do!
There will be a street sampling on 6th Sep 2014 (Sat) from 2pm - 6pm outside Mandarin Gallery! Do save the date! You'll be able to find out how hydrated your skin is to get freebies and enjoy attractive discounts!
